Which exhaust system will give me the best sound by only changing the mufflers.

Depends on your definition of "best" sound. Go to youtube and listen to videos to give you an idea. Also, most manufacturers have a sound clip for you to listen to. Plus, if you are looking to simply change the mufflers, I think you are going to have a difficult time doing so. Probably an axle back system is more of what you are looking for. I like my B & B Fusions.

Now let us know what type of sound are looking for (Deep/throaty, exotic and do you care if it drones a little or lot)? Does price matter? An do you plan on putting headers and/or a cam in it later down the line? These are important to know to somewhat help you out.

Don't plan on putting headers or a cam in. Just looking for something louder than stock, but not so loud I can't stand it.

Corsa is always a good choice.

check out my corsa extreme cat back. No headers just exhaust

I would say based on what your saying, Corsa would be the way to go. It doesn't drone. I had the Corsa Xtreme and to me I wish it was a little louder but as I said it didn't drone, so you may want to look at the corsa Sport exhaust, they are more higher pitch European sounding. With that said, if you want more of a deeper more muscle car sound then I would say Borla. Maybe go with the S-type I hear some people say it doesn't drone and some people say it does. Just keep an eye in the for sale section. If you look at videos on youtube make sure you look and see if those cars have headers and cam because it's very few out there that are bone stock with just exhaust. I think on borla site they have sound clips. I hope that helps you out.

I'm in that apparently small group who prefers the OEM stock system. About to revert mine from the Dynomax axle-backs the previous owner had installed. Drone in 6th on the hwy is significant.

Everyone I talk to has either Corsas or Borla S2 or Touring, and they sound good and apparently don't drone. I just don't want to throw that kind of coin into it. I'm fine with the feel of acceleration, don't really care if I can hear it.

Hey Ben Z!! Don't feel bad about going back to stock but if you want the best of both worlds and you don't have the mufflers. I would suggest looking into some NPP mufflers pending on how much you want to spend. An get the Mild N Wild NPP in a box if the car didn't come with that option. I had a Corsa Xtreme on mine and don't get me wrong I loved it and didn't have any drone. When I bought my car over a year ago I wanted the NPP option car with chrome wheels and removeable top and wide body so that put me in a GS. But the deal was so good, I put the chrome wheels on it from House of Wheels thanks BOB!!! An ordered my exhaust. I don't know why I didn't think of getting the mufflers or see what it would take to make it work then but excited about My first Vette which I've had a lot of Camaros. So long story short here in a couple of months I'm going to get headers and a cam so I want the option to be able to louder or quieter. The NPP mufflers I got was from a member on here and they did the muffler mod so it's perfect for me. Not as loud as the Corsa when open but sound deeper. It Burb like the Corsa does but nothing bad or over baring right now. Well see after the headers and cam.

I was able to get ahold of the stock mufflers my car came with. I guess I'm the fast 'n not-loud type

Just a thought so if money was a issue.. Hooker BlackHeart... Very deep sounding...and seems to be no drone... But again would be better if you could here someone's else's car.. Also some You tube video's may help.

If you are looking to only change the mufflers, check out the Magnaflow 14336. I put 2 of those on my 2005 C6 and loved the way they sounded. Deep, mellow but not loud. Best part was the price. The 2 mufflers plus labor came out to be $280 with reusing the stock tips.

The stock NPP system with the fuse pulled sounds incredible to me. The popping on decel is the best part.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on the Borla system, I would recommend the SLP Powerflo axle-back system for around $700. I have this, and it provides a nice low rumble without being overly loud (such as with something like the Loudmouth systems).

ONEBADZ

If you do want the Borla system contact Brandon at Maryland Speed he hooked me up with a very good price shipped to my front door. Not really a lot more than $700 (in my opinion). If you don't want drone at highway speed in low RPM then I'd definitely go with the Borla Type II. Borla engineered it to not drone on the C6. Deep throaty sound with the nice burble when you let off and 4 inch tips.

This is my vote - the NPP system /w a mild to wild will give you the rumble you are looking for, 6 additional HP, and won't risk loud exhaust tickets because it is factory.
